How many people even know there was an election in Canada?
Here are the results:

I've said this before, at least 30 years ago I read an article, that Canada is our closest ally, we share a huge border with Canada, we share more culturally with Canada than any other nation, and yet news about events in Canada barely get any mention in American media.

Now there's an election, and Canadians, by a roughly 43% to 41% ratio, narrowly re-elected the Liberal party to remain in power.

Hopeless liberal basket-case Trudeau drove his country into the ground the last few years, much like Biden did simultaneously in the U.S., and like Biden, was enormously unpopular.
And so Trudeau resigned early, to allow his party to select new leadership to have a better chance going into the new election.

And Canada is majority-liberal enough that it allowed another from his party to narrowly get elected and hang on to power.
Which is basically the equivalent of a Kamala Harris/Tim Walz win in Canada, so from the U.S., we'll be able to further watch from the sidelines as they burn Canada to the ground over the next few years.
The Canadians, unlike the U.S., apparently haven't had enough pain yet. It's like in destroyed leftist California, they know liberals are destroying California, but they just can't bring themselves to vote conservative, no matter how bad it has become.

So now Canada has liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney. The insane choice of choosing the same party and expecting a different result.
Good luck with that, Canada. Pop another bag of popcorn.

The reader comments are the best part. Here's a sampling :

It’s been sad seeing Trump trash relationships between our friends and allies just to feed his ego. I look at all his failed businesses and all the fools that have so much faith in him.

Yeah, he sure did. 8 dimensional chess, and all that.



MAGA cultists can rationalize anything to excuse their fearless leader.


Cope harder, cultist...these people are mentally ill.

That is, of course, the Democrat narrative of what Trump is doing, not what Trump is actually doing.

Trump is negotiating equal and proportionate tariffs with the nations that have been fleecing us for decades with unfair trade practices. And the evidence is nations across the world have renewed respect for the U.S. that they did not have during he Obama and Biden years.


I'm not really sure what the full purpose of Trump's talk about "making Canada the 51st state" is all about. But it's clearly unserious, and trolling both Trudeau and the ineffectual Canadian Left, and also trolling and riling up Democrats into a derangement syndrome frenzy here in the U.S.
I've also thought, after Canadians' initial anger about the idea of Canada becoming part of the U.S., that when that anger cools off, they might ponder the idea that they might actually be better off as part of the U.S.

But again, I think Trump is not serious about making Canada part of the U.S., at least not until a decade or so in the future, where Canadians have suffered so much under severaal adminisrattions of liberal/leftist control of Canada that they will as a whole become far more conservative.

There are some states of Canada that are much more conservative, that I could see seceding and offering to become part of the United States, such as Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. But the rest of Canada is much more like California, Oregon, Washington, New York state and Massachusetts.
To have all of Canada join the U.S. would just give Democrats a permanent majority in the U.S.

As I said, I see Trump's comments as unserious.
But it is fun to watch leftists on both sides of the border lose their minds over the idea being floated by Trump.

You believe conservatives in Canada are enjoying Trump’s numerous comments about Canada too?
